• just came back from vegas atlantic city.  brought my family down in a rented saturn aura and stayed at the local econo-lodge motel.  i was at first skeptical about the saturn, being that it was an american car and all.  i used to drive a buick skyhawk back in the day and that P.O.S. would break down on me so many times in the worst possible places that i developed an aversion to any automobile that was Made in the U.S.A.  anyway, i was pleasantly pleased.  the folks from where i rented it were the best (very informative and had a good pick-up and drop-off service so i didn’t have to walk to get my rental) and the car itself, while looking like a slightly larger audi A4 (sorry, audi fans, but i have no better point of reference) drove solidly and comfortably.  the motel where were stayed in was in the shadow of the Tropicana.  the room was clean, had a full bathroom, microwave and fridge for the baby’s formula.  we couldn’t ask for more.  overall, a fun and relaxing day get-away.  there ain’t nothing like playing with my daughter in the surf and coming back from the casino to my wife with good news.
